first words

Stefano and Massimo buying macaroons in Paris.

Aside from Mo’s early utterances of “dada” and “aitäh” and “ema” it wasn’t until the beginning of September that words began to pour out of him. The first, clear word that he used regularly and properly was water. He pronounced it “waloo” but now it sounds more like “waller.” His second clear word was cheese. And then…

mama

shoes

cracker (which is what he says when he wants a rice cake)

hello

ola (we were just in Spain)

up

bye-bye

banana

bread

book

kaka (which means “poo”)

car

ball

pool

beach

help

apple

food

olive

Yup, most of his words are food-related.
